Two kilograms of heroin worth $175,000 found during traffic stop on I-94

Two kilograms of heroin, estimated to be worth about $175,000, were seized by police following a traffic stop on eastbound I-94 Wednesday afternoon.

Michigan State Police made a traffic stop Wednesday on eastbound I-94 near Cooper Street and discovered the heroin hidden in block form inside the vehicle, said Lt. Dave Cook of the Jackson Narcotics Enforcement Team.

The three men in the vehicle, whose names and ages are not being released, were arrested and lodged in Detroit by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. It is believed the drugs were headed for Detroit, Cook said.

"I guarantee some of that would have made its way back into Jackson," he said.

Cook said a search warrant was obtained by the DEA for a home in Redford Township, but could not say how it was linked to the bust in Jackson.
